AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
India (Madras Presidency) – 10 Cash 1808 – British East India Company – Admiral Gardner Shipwreck – NGC Genuine Shipwreck Certification
Offered is an original 1808 10 Cash copper coin issued by the British East India Company for circulation in the Madras Presidency. This historic colonial issue has been professionally authenticated by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) and encapsulated with the prestigious Admiral Gardner Shipwreck Certification, confirming its recovery from one of the most famous numismatic shipwrecks in history.
The holder identifies the coin as:
1808 India – 10 Cash
Madras Presidency
Weight: 4.7 g
NGC Genuine
Admiral Gardner Shipwreck Certification
Certification No. 8683248-295
The Admiral Gardner was a British East India Company merchant vessel that sank in 1809 on the Goodwin Sands off the coast of Kent, England, while carrying a cargo of newly struck copper coins intended for circulation in British India. The wreck remained beneath the sea for almost two centuries before being rediscovered and carefully recovered. Coins from this famous wreck are now highly sought after due to their documented provenance and historical significance.
The obverse features the arms of the British East India Company, including the shield, supporters, and crest, symbolizing the Company's authority throughout its trading empire. The reverse bears the denomination in Persian script together with the date 1808, reflecting the multilingual coinage used throughout British India during the early nineteenth century.
NGC Shipwreck-certified examples are considerably more desirable than ordinary circulation pieces, combining colonial history, maritime archaeology, and numismatics into a single collectible. They are especially popular among collectors of East India Company coinage, British India, shipwreck artifacts, and historically significant world coins.
